挑战

Yahoo Japan Corporation faced significant challenges in handling the stress on load balancers during peak traffic periods. With increased access from mobile phones, smartphones, and PCs, the load on their network infrastructure was immense, especially during events like sports games and high-traffic periods such as lunch hours. The existing load balancers were unable to cope with the high-spec web servers and application servers, leading to potential system errors and deterioration in service quality. This situation necessitated the implementation of high-performance load balancers to maintain fast and stable network infrastructure, crucial for Yahoo's operations given their massive user base and page views.

解决方案

Yahoo Japan Corporation chose A10 Networks' AX Series to enhance their network infrastructure. The implementation began in November 2009, with full utilization starting in January 2010. The AX Series, known for its high scalability, was further bolstered by the addition of 64-bit AX products in summer 2010. This upgrade was crucial as Yahoo's servers were transitioning to a 64-bit environment. The AX Series' GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) feature was also implemented for disaster recovery purposes. The AX Series provided a comprehensive solution, including intuitive interfaces for easy setup and operation. Yahoo Japan also benefited from A10 Networks' support in developing custom features tailored to their specific needs, ensuring a seamless and efficient deployment.
